Episode Highlights
Dropping the F-Bomb
Some moments just make you go “fuck.”
For Tessa, it is a way for her to speak her mind freely. It is part of the process of expressing herself emotionally.
Sometimes, there are just no other words to express how we’re feeling that we end up cussing.
Rosie recalls a conversation with a friend and mentor about utilizing language efficiently in the full episode!
Being frustrated and irritated is a very human moment. No amount of training or experience can help you in the management of emotions when you’re feeling these.
Drawing Wisdom From Rosie and Tessa’s Photoshoot
Rosie and Tessa did a photoshoot recently for the podcast. Tessa felt awkward in front of the camera and asked Rosie for advice.
However, Rosie wasn’t always a natural in front of the camera. She actually doesn’t like being in the spotlight. However, she does it in service of being in service.
When she needs to be the center of attention, Rosie channels her dad, who was a vocalist.
Conveying someone else’s energy, like someone we look up to, is a way to think with more clarity, especially when we get stuck in our thoughts and feelings.
Channeling someone else allows us to draw wisdom from them and to zoom out from our narrow-mindedness at the moment.
The Feeling of Pressure and Overwhelm
Pressure is self-inflicted. Being aware of the pressure you’re putting on yourself is key to moving out of the overwhelm.
We tend to put so much weight into what other people think about us. It throws us into feeling overwhelmed and compressed.
Sometimes, all you have to do is pause for a moment and step away before you take it out on others or lash out.
Management of Emotions through Actions
Rosie’s solution is to list down all things you have to do, then classify them according to urgency, difficulty, and fear of doing it.
When you restructure your list and do things one by one, you can accomplish tasks sooner.
Notifications and reminder alerts can also cause pressure.
When these get overwhelming, take a moment to step away. Most of the time, things aren’t actually that big of a deal.
Dealing with Frustration
It’s a matter of perspective. Rosie shares how reminding herself of the important things helps her deal with frustration.
Listening to music is one way to shift your energy and move into a space that allows you to tune in with yourself and be more present.
It helps to be mindful about your own energy before interacting with other people, so you don’t inevitably interrupt somebody else’s space.
Tune in to the full episode to hear about Rosie’s altercation with a yoga teacher.
That story is a reminder that we falter, and that’s just being human. But we should always try to be mindful of our energy, so we don’t end up hurting other people.
5 Powerful Quotes
[04:36] “Utilizing your language in a more efficient way allows you to rise to your highest.”
[07:08] “I think it’s important for us to be able to talk about [feeling overwhelmed and irritated], and to try and find the wisdom in that experience, and not make ourselves feel bad for being human.”
[17:02] “The perspective of the outside wisdom, the outside person, the teacher, whoever it is that you look to as a point of reference, it’s not always assuming that we’re stepping into their shoes, but we’re drawing from their wisdom.”
[21:19] “We put so much weight into what other people think about us, our worth, and our work that we utilize that to compound our own feelings of not feeling enough, not feeling like we’re doing enough, not feeling like we’re accomplishing enough.”
[37:53] “Be mindful of your energy, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed. That’s the wisdom.”
